Millennials are the unluckiest generation in U.S. history

[88m3]

need better social safety nets, worker rights, and wages

 

[CrimsonTider]

if they stop trying to follow the path of their parents and those before them, I think they will be fine. They can make millions playing video games or find creative ways to get income using social media.

the idea you need to be stuck at some job for the benefits and retirement is a stale ideology. They will be fine if people quit comparing them to their forefathers. Their financial opportunities are plentiful, but just not always through that traditional route.

no wonder you’re on the coli Republican list

this sounds like some bizarre “bootstraps” bullshyt

It's not even paying into the safety net it's paying into CEO offshore accounts and double Dutch tax avoidance schemes.

Social safety net is underfunded because the biggest earners and beneficiaries of American capitalism give nothing back to the country.

The moment millennials realize baby boomers have screwed us: job wise, education wise, housing wise, family wise, health wise collectively, we need to fight them as a group.

it’s a generational war.

they already do


they know things are going to get worse, just don't know how bad yet

 

[Red Shield]

Millennials have had it bad but i'm still not trading it for whatever generation made it through the great depression AND Jim Crow

IDK about this unluckiest generation stuff.

boomers were born at the end of ww2. so their not the great depression gen.

• U.S. billionaires saw their fortunes soar by $434 billion during the nation's lockdown between mid-March and mid-May, according to a new report.
• Bezos added $34.6 billion to his wealth and Zuckerberg picked up $25 billion.

$35 billion in 60 days. When there was almost no economic activity and 50 million jobs lost.



People spend a lifetime paying off student loans and these dudes pocketing more money then an Arab dictators net worth in 2 months. Ultra rich got the game rigged.



$35 billion in two months. Amazon needs to be broken up

Capitalism is the best system for producing goods and services. It handsomely rewards those that have access to capital.

However, it is far from the best system when it comes to the distribution of wealth.

When all the other stocks crashed investors flocked to tech companies such as Amazon, Tesla, Shopify etc. That's why they made billions over night.

Capitalism isn’t the issue it’s the rich rigging everything in their favor after they buy out the government. We got an oligarchy in America. Fed prints money, rich borrow money for cheap, stick it in assets and get richer while everyone who can’t get massive cheap loans gets left with inflation. It’s national theft.

Yea but the crash only stopped when the Fed printed trillions out. After that everyone gets confident about the stock market and buys tech stocks. Fed is running a Ponzi scheme and the rest of the country will be left holding the bag.

Too bad they aren’t burning down Wall Street instead of target.

I was watching the history channel yesterday. Nothing sounds worse than Hiroshima. Imagine nothing but fire for 6 hours.
